The first ALINE measurements and intercomparison exercise on lidar inversion algorithms Primeras mediciones simultáneas dentro de ALINE y ejercicio de intercomparación de los algoritmos de inversión de señal lidar
The Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) includes the portion of the atmosphere which is directly influenced by the presence of the Earth´s surface, and usually has much higher aerosol concentration than free troposphere above. Lidar system measures the intensity of backscattered light mainly from aerosol particles as a function of distance. Thus, the significant change in the backscatter across the top of the BL provides a means of determining ABL heights. Whereas an urban area situated in a complex mountain valley of Colombian tropical Andean region, we present the first results of estimating the height of the daytime ABL for Medellín city (Lat: 6°15' 38.37'', Long:-75° 34' 40.46'', Alt: 1483 m a.s.l.), using the wavelet covariant transform method in processing the elastic backscatter signal collected by a lidar built in Medellín city.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
